Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 1/5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the slope of a perpendicular line, you need to find the opposite and reciprocal of the original slope. Since the original is -5, we first change the sign (which makes it just 5). Now we take that 5 and flip it to get 1/5.

Now that we have the slope as 1/5, we can use that and the intercept in slope-intercept form to get the equation.

y = mx + b

y = 1/5x + 6

Match the compound inequalities

kondor19780726 [428]

I one is 8x<24 and -8≤2x-4

Hence x <24/8 =3 and -4≤2x: divide by positive 2 to get -2≤x

Hence solution is -2≤x<3

Therefore c is the correct matching for 1.

2) 5x-2>13 or -4x≥8

i.e. 5x>15 or x≤8/(-4) = -2 (since dividing by negative inequality reverses)

Or x>3 or x ≤-2

Hence solution is two regions to the right of 3 excluding 3 and left of -2 including -2.

Graph b is the correct match.

3) -25≤9x+2<20

Subtract 2

-27≤9x<18: Now divide by positive 9

-3≤x<2

Hence graph is the region between -3 and 2 including only -3.

Graph a is correct matching for question 3.

Grandma baked 969696 cookies and gave them to her grandchildren. One of the grandchildren, Cindy, received ccc fewer cookies tha

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The total number of cookies baked by grandma = 96

Number of grandchildren = 8

As given, all cookies were evenly divided among 8 children, let us assume that everyone except Cindy got equal share. So on being divided equally, it becomes, $\frac{96}{8}=12$ cookies per children.

But, as mentioned that Cindy received 'c' cookies less, so let us suppose Cindy received 'x' cookies.

Expression becomes: $x=12-c$

Hence, Cindy received 12-c cookies.
